Practice, Practice, Practice. Practice as much as possible. The only way to really
learn how to do problems is work lots of them. The more you work, the better pre-
pared you will be for exam time.
Learn From Your Errors Learning from your mistakes can only help you.
Review Homework/test and exam. When you get your homework back review it
looking for errors that you made.
Understand the Error. When you find an error in your homework or exams try to
understand what the error is and just what you did wrong. Look for something about
the error that you can remember to help you to avoid making it again.
Get Help. If you can find the error and/or don’t understand why it was an error
then get help. Ask the instructor, your tutor, or a classmate who got the problem cor-
rect.
Rushed Errors. If you find yourself continually making silly arithmetic or nota-
tional errors then slow down when you are working the problems. Most of these types
of errors happen because students get in a hurry and don’t pay attention to what they
are doing.
Repeated Errors. If you find yourself continually making errors on one particular
type of problem then you probably don’t have a really good grasp of the concept be-
hind that type of problem. Go back and find more examples and really try to under-
stand just what you are doing wrong or don’t understand.
I am sure that the above tips will be useful and a great help. I wish all the students a
happy understanding of math for the coming years.
